Maybe it was time for Audi to respond to the BMW’s Mini with a mini-premium car. And the response came in 2011, with the new Audi A1.
The mini car was based on the VW Polo and the Skoda Fabia, with added the luxury specific to the Audi.
The small car had lots of appeal and lots of options. Surprisingly, the base version did not have air conditioning, option that could be added at a cost of $1,525. However, the Pro Line trim package had AC included and many other features for just $1,500. A nice strategy from Audi!
Inside the cabin we could find the classy dashboard Audi got us used to, lots of storage spaces and useful cupholders.
For such a small car, the cargo area was more than decent and it could also be extended by folding the rear seats.
The Audi A1 was easy to drive, mostly great around town and in traffic. However, taking the small car on a long journey might not feel that great. The steering was designed to do well in traffic situations, but did not offer much feedback to the driver.
The suspension was a little bit firm and mostly felt like a bigger car that did very well on turns, with little to no body roll.
The A1 was only available in a 3-door model and due to its shape, the passengers in the back had limited headroom.
